F5 BIG-IP Advanced Firewall Manager (AFM) Overview

What is F5 BIG-IP Advanced Firewall Manager (AFM)?

F5 BIG-IP Advanced Firewall Manager (AFM) is a high-performance, full-proxy network security solution designed to protect networks and data centers against incoming threats that enter the network. Built on F5’s industry-leading BIG-IP hardware and software platforms, BIG-IP AFM provides a scalable platform that delivers the flexible performance and control needed to mitigate aggressive distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) and protocol attacks before they overwhelm and degrade applications and infrastructure availability. Natively a part of F5 BIG-IP AFM, F5 intrusion prevention system (IPS) performs Layer 5-7 inspection of incoming traffic and protects protocol and infrastructure against security incidents and exploits. BIG-IP AFM’s IPS solution reviews traffic for adherence to protocol standards, matching against known attack signatures. For service providers, BIG-IP AFM IPS does even more, protecting the network edge and performing traffic inspection and protocol adherence for prevalent service provider protocols such as SS7, Diameter, HTTP/2, GTP, SCTP and SIP traffic coming into the network over UDP, TCP, and SCTP.
